Today we have yet more hippo love to share: a video of a mother hippo and baby hippo swimming together at the Bioparc Valencia, the smashing zoo in Valencia, Spain. I think it's safe to say we love hippos.

Dec 10th, 2010 at 2:00PM: Sometimes, strange and wonderful things happen within the world of African wildlife. A few weeks ago at Sanctuary Olonana, a luxury camp in the Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya, Mother Nature looked the other way while the nature of a mother hippo took over.
An infant wildebeest accidentally ended up in the middle of the Mara River, helpless and gangly and unable to swim. The calf had been ...Montenegro loses its only hippo
Jan 15th, 2010 at 12:00PM: The only hippopotamus in Montenegro escaped from the zoo on Wednesday. So if you took your trip to Podgorica specifically to see the two-ton animal, named Nikica, pack up and go home. Maybe you can catch a train to Greece instead. Whatever you choose to do, just know that the damned hippo isn't there any more. She broke free from her cage and swam away after seasonal floods reached the zoo.
...Pablo Escobar's Hacienda popular with tourists
Nov 11th, 2009 at 1:30PM: Visiting the former home of a famous person is pretty common. Tourists flock to Elvis' Graceland and who wouldn't love a look inside the creepy world of Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch?

It's why people go on safari in South Africa to see lions and elephants, trek through the jungles of Borneo in search of monkeys, and submerge themselves in steel cages off the coast of Baja California to swim with Great White sharks. But it's important to remember that despite the precautions taken by tour guides and rangers, ...Photo of the Day (7.4.09)
Jul 4th, 2009 at 6:00PM: Happy Fourth of July everyone! I know you were probably expecting a photo of fireworks, but this photo really spoke to me as a natural firework in the sky. I'm not a huge fan of fireworks anyway -- at least not in the physical sense. I am, however, a huge proponent of emotional fireworks, and photos like this set those off for me. The world is a beautiful, wondrous place. And we should appreciate ...Photo of the Day (5/19/07)
May 19th, 2007 at 12:20PM: Hungry hippo? I'd say so. Then again it could be just a little aggravated by the camera and every thing else looking down its throat. The teeth look dull like old rotten wood, but I'll let you do the investigating. Nice in your mouth animal shot ohad*. ...
